Chapter 368: Work
The next step is to move, remove all the wooden furniture, and empty the tables before moving. The jeep is not a pickup, and the table has to be disassembled. Maya and Knife moved the table to the front door, and as long as the movement outside was not too big, it would not disturb the zombies indoors.
Lin Meng turned to carpentry, using a saw to process the size of tables and chairs, and then moving the cut tables and chairs to the trunk of the car and transporting them to the base by stones. Su Shi had an axe in his left hand and a crowbar in his right hand, and was waiting in the small square as early as possible. It's been a long time since it opened, and it's finally ushered in its first guests.
Also returning with the car were Maya and them. Now the classes are divided, Shanna, Xuedan, and Lin Wu are in a group, and Maya, Lin Meng, and Xiaodao are in a group at night.
After grouping, Lin Wu and the three of them had a small meeting, carried a small amount of firewood to the office building by car, and lit a small bonfire in the hall of the office building.
Lin Wu stood opposite the right passage, and with a flick of the slingshot in his hand, the pebble hit the ground and bounced into the dark passage. Lin Wu heard movement inside, and flicked a pebble again. Finally, a zombie walked out of the passage. On the left and right sides of the passage, Shanna and Xuedan each took blunt weapons and directly knocked the zombies to death.
When he came out of the second one, he saw Lin Wu first, locked on Lin Wu directly, and was about to run, but was knocked to death by Sha Dan.
Shana listened attentively to the movement inside, and made a gesture to Lin Wu, Lin Wu coughed, and two zombies hiding by the passage ran out, one was knocked to death by Sha Dan, and the other was taken down by Lin Wu's non-system wind thorn.
Shanna made a tiger roaring motion, stretched out four fingers, and pointed the back of her hand at Lin Wu: fierce, four meters away. Then Shanna rolled her eyes again, stretched out three fingers, and pointed her palm at Lin Wu: three zombies.
These are the zombies attracted by the previous movement, but they didn't grasp the point, and they are still in the passage.
This is Shanna's strategy for the gourd baby to save her grandfather. First of all, do a good way to retreat, once you hear a big movement, immediately get into the car and run away, and then divide and kill, and use the sound of killing zombies to attract zombies. Although the efficiency is not as good as that of the Mayans, it is better than safety, and it is a business.
After another wave of killings, Shanna modified her tactics and handed the slingshot to Xuedan. A zombie came out of the passage, and Lin Wu, who was leaning against the wall, executed it with a dagger, and then Shanna struck Lin Wu with a stick on the back of Lin Wu's hand.
Lin Wu opened his mouth wide and grabbed the zombie corpse with one hand, and took painkillers with the other, and then glared at Shanna, who was busy making an apologetic expression.
Lin Wu let go of the zombie corpse, handed the dagger to his left hand, and the corpse fell to the ground to attract a new zombie, which was a ferocity. In order to prevent it from falling after being stabbed, Lin Wu grabbed its neck with his injured right hand and gave it two stabs in the head in a row, the process was easier than killing a chicken. A zombie that followed the rage was crushed by Shanna.
After an hour of assembly line work, with the help of the entry, Lin Wu's hand injury healed and he could no longer seduce zombies. The three of them took their flashlights and entered the passage, but they didn't expect to see the night demon at the end of the passage for the first time, and the night demon burrowed into the bathroom on the left.
There is only one company in the right aisle, on the right side of the right aisle, and on the left side of the right aisle there is only one toilet at the end of the aisle. Lin Wu and Shanna leaned against the wall left and right to guard the door of the bathroom, Xuedan continued to tease, there were not many zombies left in the bathroom, and they were killed after a while. Lin Wu summoned Xiao Wei, who was in a daze at the gate, and entered the bathroom alone to chat with the night demon, and after a while, he got a weapon design drawing.
The mace, which is close to full damage, requires wooden sticks and iron nails. Lin Wu originally planned to trade to Shana, but Shana gave a look, and Lin Wu gave the design to Xuedan. Xuedan thanked silently.
The biggest trouble for the shadow is the cold resistance value, although the cold wave has not yet come this month, but the cold resistance value is only 50 points, and the few people who are not able to freeze. The most important thing is that the toes are cold and the fingers are numb. Because of the assistance of systematic skills, the monster farming action has not been deformed, but the body is inevitably uncomfortable.
Hunger and cold are the first enemies of mankind. Everyone else is insisting, and no one wants to explain their situation first. The heartless Lin Wu and the informal Maya did not take this aspect into account, until the stone could not bear the cold and contacted Maya. His suit has a lower cold resistance.
At this time, the first floor of the office building was basically cleaned up, and Xuedan and Shana both said that they would be busy for a while. Busy farming zombies, cutting and moving, by four o'clock in the afternoon, Shadow completely cleared the first floor of the office building. Everything that can be moved has been moved, even the printer, the paintings on the walls, the curtains, and the vases have not been spared.
The good news is that a lot of fuel has been added. The bad news: these fuels are far less efficient than chopping wood. Shana's calculations suggest that the firewood obtained by completely clearing the five-story office building can be burned for eight days. According to the comprehensive statistics of the safe house time of fuel exchange, if there is no cold spell, it should be able to last until the end of the season.
But there is definitely a cold wave, not only that, but it is still an ultra-low temperature of minus 71.2 degrees. So in addition to the five-story office building, fuel had to be found. Basically, the fuel is indoors, and almost all indoor environments are not much different from office buildings.
Shanna proposed: "Go to the park and cut down trees." ”
Maya objected: "The park is open on all sides, not to mention the cold wind lowers the temperature of the body, how to guard against the night demon?" "Indoors, lighting a fire at an intersection or hanging a flashlight can stop the Daredevil from passing through.
"We don't have much time, and a cold spell could hit at any time." Maya said: "Lin Meng is in charge of driving, Lin Wu and I are on duty, and we will empty the second floor tonight." ”
Lin Wu said: "The third floor can also be emptied together." ”
"Let's go, then." Maya puts down the dishes.
Lin Meng hurriedly pulled the food, and Lin Wu said, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished eating yet." ”
Maya: "I'm waiting for you outside." ”
The second floor of the office building has more harvest than the first floor, perhaps because the owner on the second floor likes to read, and the books on the shelves alone have been carried three times. Books are beacons in civilized times, and chopping wood in apocalyptic times.
At night, because of the outdoor street lighting, it is easier to establish a safe zone, after all, the only person who can really threaten the safety of Limma is the night demon. Crooked is assigned to Maya to assist her in guarding against the Night Demons. As long as Lin Wu holds the gun in his left hand and is ready to lock his head at any time, the night demon can't move him.
After two shifts and two days of hard work, Shadow emptied the entire office building, during which many people were injured and there was no life-threatening situation.
……
In the early morning of the fourth day of winter and March, the system broadcasts: The strongest cold snap in history will arrive at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and last at least half a month.
It was breakfast time, and after listening to the radio, Maya said, "I can't help it. Lin Wu, Lin Meng, let's go outside the town. ”
Shi said: "The three of you all stayed up all night last night, don't you want to rest for a while?" ”
"It's fine." Iron and Steel Ma said: "Prepare after meals, bring enough bullets, efficiency first." ”
Shanna nodded: "Let's also stock up on more fish and meat today, you guys be careful." ”
"Hmm." Maya put the bowl in the pot and went downstairs to prepare it. Lin Wu and Lin Meng ate a few bites casually and went downstairs.
Maya changed the license plate, Lin Wu took the horses and asked, "Do you want to collect the tent?" ”
Maya glanced sideways at the tent: "No, if we can't come back before the cold wave comes, we won't be able to survive even if we have a tent." "Lack of food, can't go out.
Lin Wu said: "Actually, we don't necessarily have to cut down trees, we still have something to burn." ”
"What?" Maya asked, "Are you talking about the planks that sealed the door?" Not resistant to burning. ”
"No, I'm talking about Lin Meng, with her 60 kilograms, she should be able to burn for half a day. After the resurrection, burn it for half a day, and after the resurrection, ......"
Lin Meng interrupted angrily: "I don't have 60 kilograms, okay?" ”
Lin Wu smiled, if you don't get angry, what I said will be boring.
Maya stood up: "Get in the car." ”
The car moves unimpeded through the town, exiting the checkpoint to the ramp, and in front of it is snow up to half a meter deep.
The three of them got out of the car, and Maya arranged: "Don't go out of the pass, Lin Wu, you are in charge of the north, and I am in charge of the south." Lin Meng, you stay. ”
After arranging, it started, brought the logging tools, and the forest fog was apparitional, and the phantom walked in the snow with relative ease, and it had little impact on it. On the other hand, sandstorms are more difficult to walk, but it is rare to come in handy for reforming the evil and returning to the right, and it is still very hard to work.
What about the little crooked? Lin Wu stopped his horse and turned around, a small crooked head came out of the snow, and it was submerged in the snow, and Lin Wu, who was extremely familiar with it, knew that it was playing at a glance and beckoned it to follow. Little crooked jumped and jumped in the snow, leaving pits one after another.
Lin Wu's target was a tree on the side of the road, barely able to be held by a person, with tools such as an axe and a saw. It's not that Lin Wu wants to choose it, there are really no other smaller trees. Although it was polar night, the visibility was good because of the snow reflecting the moon.
Chop, chop, chop, chop...... Rest, drink water, discuss the snow scene with Xiao Crook, chop, chop, chop, chop...... Rest, and bully the phantom with Xiao Crooked. Chop, chop, chop...... The big guy finally collapsed and lay sideways on the side of the road. And that's just the first step in the whole work.
In the second step, all the branches are sawed off, the thin branches are tied and placed on the back of the phantom, and the phantom is led two kilometers to the car.
In the third step, the thick branches are split, and after a little processing, they are sent to the car in several batches. The phantom is still very kind, and when he sees the master walking, he can't bear it, so he has to camel the forest fog.
"If you don't agree, you have to say, oh, don't you really object?" So Lin Wu went up, and it was difficult to resist. Xiao Crooked still jumped in the snow one by one.
After sending it three times, it was already noon when he came back, Lin Wu sat on the tree and ate a canned food casually, and then it was the hardest work. He had to cut the tree into several knots, and then split them all into four large pieces, transporting them N times through the phantom. It is estimated that this tree will be enough for Shadow to burn for three or four days.
The stone sent a condolence message: "How? "Private chat Lin Wu.
Lin Wu smiled bitterly: "It's a little undecided, my body is strong and my heart is insufficient." ”
Stone: "If you really can't do it, forget it." "He knows how much work goes into handling the trunk. On the first day of winter, the wood is usually sawn into two or three intercepts and transported back to a pickup truck, which is very difficult to handle. Although Lin Wu is the top seller, he rarely participates in this kind of work, and his proficiency is almost zero.
"I'm going to have to get this tree done."
Lin Wu began to saw, cutting off the ten-meter-long trees in seven. Then, with an axe, two iron drills were driven into the wood in turn, and with great effort, the first piece of wood was finally broken in half, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon after more than three hours of communication with the stone. Lin Wu split the two halves of wood again, tied up the four pieces of wood and put them on the phantom, and sent the wood with the phantom and the little crooked. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when I came back.
When Lin Wu came back from this trip, he saw Maya who was breaking firewood, Maya glanced at him and said, "I just finished four trees, and I don't have time to cut down the fifth tree, so I came over to take a look." ”
"Four?" Hit.
Maya couldn't help but smile when she saw her expression: "You idiot, why do you have to cut down trees?" Can't you just saw the trunk? ”
Lin Wu replied: "Because I know it's wrong to cut corners." ”
"There is a certain truth in what you say, the main firewood is more resistant to burning, but it is very time-consuming and energy-consuming to deal with." Maya said, "Don't just stand, come and help." ”
"Xiao Wei, as my plenipotentiary, you will go over and help right now."
Xiao Wei jumped in front of Maya very obediently, and Maya touched Xiao Wei's head: "Good, go far, so as not to be injured by mistake." ”
The progress of the work of the two has accelerated, and compared with Lin Wu, who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, Maya's work efficiency is much stronger than that of Lin Wu. Even the bundled wooden blocks are stronger than the forest fog. While Lin Wu rides the phantom and leads the sandstorm to make deliveries, Maya continues to work.
At about 8 p.m., when only one last trip remained, Lin Wu, Shuangma, and Yigou returned to their workplaces, only to find Maya sitting on a log, the snow on the ground stained red. When I asked, I realized that Maya's axe had slashed her own foot. The shoes are dark energy shoes, and the damaged parts will be refreshed, but the feet are not good, and if you say that you will lose a few fingers, you can only send them back to the hospital, relying on an incomparably powerful hospital bed to solve the problem.
Lin Wu picked up Maya and sent her to a sandstorm with difficulty, with a small half bottle of painkillers.
Maya confessed: "Pack up the rest of the firewood." ”
Lin Wu: "You're all like this, and you're still cleaning up?" ”
Maya said: "I'm like this, you're not like this, you can still clean it up." ”
"Okay." Lin Wu spent 20 minutes processing the last wood, turned on his horse, and left with Xiao Wei and Maya.
Lin Wu said: "Today I did all the hard work I need to do in this life. ”
Maya said: "Before immigrating, you decided that you didn't need to do manual work? ”
Lin Wu: "Yes. ”
Maya said: "Suppose your wife is sick and has two children, what if you need money?" "Blue Star pays very well for manual work, slightly higher than the median. Countless people have called for Dawning to deregulate robots, but this call violates Dawning's original agreement. There are two major prerequisites for Sugon to dispatch robots. First, this work is very important, and it is a major issue related to the survival of mankind. Second, humans have to pay a very high risk to do this type of work.
Lin Wu: "First of all, my wife doesn't need money to see a doctor. Secondly, the child can contact the welfare organization, and instead of suffering with me, it is better to grow up happily with everyone. I've never been a parent, but I have to raise my own children, isn't that harming my children? Instead, it is better to hand it over to an experienced public care agency. The living conditions and other aspects are superior to me. ”
Maya asked, "What if life on earth is bad?" And you don't get points for financial freedom. ”
Lin Wu said: "I am not a person who sees money, I am more willing to do something I want to do." I don't think money is important, it's about being able to live the life you want to live. To tell you the truth, not to mention physical work, sometimes I don't want to do mental work. Unless ......"
"Unless you're interested, as long as you're interested, you're willing to do whatever job you do." Maya said: "For example, going out to cut wood in this weather. ”
Lin Wu seemed to change the topic and said, "Although everyone didn't say it, Shanna has to bear some responsibility for this matter. But compared to last year, I think Shanna has come a long way, she's done well. ”
Maya said: "These two months have been very difficult, Shanna's mood has not been high, and I am very satisfied that I can maintain the status quo." The reason why everyone doesn't talk about it is inclusion, and the collective tolerance of adults is the cornerstone of maintaining collective stability. "Everyone has their shortcomings, and Lin Wu and Maya are no exception.
There is a saying: don't find fault with your friends, but find good in strangers. In fact, on the contrary, many parents will find fault with their children and praise the good qualities of other children. Many couples do not see the strengths of their spouses, only the shortcomings of each other, and always like to compare the strengths of others with the shortcomings of their own spouses.
